France has my heart โ twice over. I spent a week eating and drinking my way through Bordeaux and Champagne in September 2026 (with Sally, obviously), and did Paris at Christmas the year before. Everything I wrote about it lives here.
My France guides
An Afternoon in Pomerol โ The prologue: chรขteau gardens, a family estate, and the longest, loveliest lunch.
A Wedding Weekend in Clรฉrac โ Clem and Ryan’s wedding: a champagne tower at golden hour and a dance floor for the ages.
How to Spend a Day in Saint-รmilion โ One perfect day: harvest at Chรขteau-Figeac, fifteen wines at La Grande Cave, dinner at Le Tertre.
Two Days in Champagne โ Sunrise over the vineyards with Sally, the grand houses, chalk cellars, and six bottles I couldn’t leave without.
Christmas in Paris โ Dior on Avenue Montaigne, skating at Plaza Athรฉnรฉe, and the Eiffel Tower sparkling on the hour.
